    I've been (perhaps unwisely) hyped for this since the announcement that it was bring made. Every now and again there's a scrap of news that's a casting announcement, or functionally just a reminder that it's still happening. So excited to have a teaser at last.
    Going to be keeping a lid on my expectations now, because there's a real chance of getting burned (again).

    Incidentally, for those that have read the books (or indeed, haven't) - check out the audiobook. It's read by Philip Pullman himself, and has a full cast of actors for all the dialogue. It's by far and away the best audiobook I've listened to. Do yourself a favour and check it out!

      nnnngnnnnnnhhh. Now that I know this it's hard not to be tempted.
      I read HDM as a kid; probably the first set of books I read that left such a lasting mark on me. I'm extremely hesitant to re-read (or listen) to them, there's something special about having only the "mental scar" of the book so to say, and remembering so little of it.

      Man if I had a penny for every tear that trilogy made me shed, I'd still not have stopped crying half-way through getting richer than bill gates.
